Belated Christmas and New Year 2009...
...Greetings to all!!!
Well it's time to welcome in the new year! New life, new resolutions etc etc... ok first up.
Many people had no idea bout the traditional 12 days of Christmas so I decided to whip, and rip one of the net for all to read. Here is one of it...

That's all for now on the 12 days. As by right, it has already ended with the Epiphany Celebration yesterday. (Even I should already start clearing the Christmas Decor at home. Hmm..... )
SO.... the new year has begun, a lot of planning to be done. I have already been asked to plan something new for Easter (which is in a month and a half's time) Whoa! its barely 2009 and people are already into Easter. I really wonder when people will start to slow down the pace. As it is Chinese New Year is on the 25 and 26th of this month. What more Easter! Atop all this, my Godbro's wedding is on Valentine's (unlucky me!) and atop that, I have to start helping a church mate with the children's choir for Easter. OK! That's entirely a handful haha....
Apart from all that, I'm happy the new year has begun. Hopefully I can set a new challenge for myself in a lotta stuff, some from work and some at church and some also at home and not forgetting personally =D
That's all for now.
Ja-ne~
